| I don't need a lot of friends anyway, so giving up male friends was no problem. I know this isn't a popular opinion, but it's what I did. I would gladly give up my (few) friends for him, because I don't need friends and don't care that much about them. I just wish that he'd get more jealous and say... |

| I think you should definitely get your child to try new foods, but if you're going to get stressed or annoyed when he doesn't like them, forget it. If a child doesn't have the freedom to dislike something without his or her parents getting angry about the fact that they won't eat it, they'll never t... |

I have real problems with jealousy (probably because I'm incredibly insecure and have no self esteem whatsoever) and get really possessive and jealous over my boyfriend. Once I tried to forbid him from speaking to anyone female that was within his dating range bef... |

| Does your son demand to be left alone? I'm an Aspie and I know that I did when I had tantrums when I was younger and I hated it when people looked at me, talked to me, or bothered me in any way. Most of the time Aspies will work out their own calming methods like stimming or sitting in small places ... |

| Hello there. I was self-diagnosed from age 14 to 16, when I got my diagnosis. I say you're probably right, there's not really any scope for error. It's one of those things where you know you have it and it's hard to convince yourself you do if you don't. Science has gotten me into some sticky spots ... |

| Almost all shoes are uncomfortable after a while for me, even sandals, crocs, trainers, running shoes etc even if I wear socks, apart from a really big pair of boots I have which don't actually touch my feet that much, so my feet don't rub against the shoes. The problem is that I have really tiny fe... |

| I don't know why I hate it, but I really do. Sometimes when I'm waiting for a person to answer the phone, I worry that my voice will go while I'm waiting and I won't have any voice to respond with after they say "hello." I only like it when it's my boyfriend, and even then I find excuses to end the ... |

I always end up with a frozen, unnatural half-smile and awkward body positions. Sometimes I put my hands in a certain position and it feels "wrong" so I have to cha... |

About the red button: don't take me too seriously, this is just an indicator of how fed up I am with this society. I did so many things for others, I am so generous and so co... |
